Thu, 06 Jan 2011 01:17:44 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=101857#comment-903265Is there 1 person on Earth who LIKES matt millen?? I have a hard time believe that his family even likes him. Maybe they’re forced to, but theres no way they respect or listen to him.

Elway must miraculously avoid the player as a coach/management fail syndrome. Hyper talented players seem not to be able to relate, in any sport.
Harbaugh is an improper comparison. Jim is the son of a coach, spent his time in the trenches learning the craft
Elway deigns to begin at the top.
This single fact indicates to me he does not get it, will be out of his realm, over his head.

Like me thinking I could fly the Space Shuttle.

I wish Elway well, until NE has to visit that airless hole in the middle sky. Elway is a class act, good for Denver PR. It feels good. It feels hopeful.

But, I am really skeptical.
Who in Denver will be able to speak the truth, will be comfortable pissing on the statue, when all does not go as planned, directly to the Super Bowl?

If you could make one person STFU, would it be Matt Millen or Tony Dungy? I know both are different, but each makes me want to throw up when they speak!!!
___________________
I can’t listen to the game with Millen on it. I keep thinking, what does this guy know, he ruined a franchise. But the guys I wish would STFU are, Michael Irvin, Brian Billick, and Jim Mora.

I’m pretty sure Elway would do better than Millen. To reach Millen’s lofty failure goals there are 3 core prerequisities.

1. You have to be fantastically incompetent.
2. You have to have ownership that can go for about 8 years without seeing how their money is being spent.
3. You have to have a curious personality quirk. Once you realize that you are The Problem, you simply go along collecting your paycheck while publicly championing values like accountability, hard work and honor. For years.

There’s a good chance that Nobody Will Ever challenge Millen’s record. Nor should they. It should stand alone as a monument to what arrogance, greed, laziness and an incredible disrespect for others can lead to.

Wed, 05 Jan 2011 15:41:08 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=101857#comment-902399Oh boy. I’m sure Elway is relieved that he now has a ringing endorsement from the biggest idiot that has ever had a football-related job. The same guy who within the last 4 months said that Rod Marinelli is a “stud” and will get another shot at being a head coach.

“I hope he does better than I did.” Well dipcrap, if he wins a game next season he will have done better than you did. If he can properly interview coaching candidates without getting a $200K fine, he’ll have done better than you did. If he can appear on television without dropping a cultural epithet, he’ll have done better than you did. If he avoids drafting 3 bust WR’s in a row within the first ten picks of the draft, he’ll have done better than you did.

^^^^^That’s like using Susan Boyle as the measuring stick for Miss America contestants. Anybody looks good next to that bag of skin.

And I actually think Millen is worse in front of a camera than as a GM…if that’s even possible.

Simply put, he will go down in history as the single worst GM in all of pro sports, not just football. I feel bad for the Lion’s fans because it will take a decade to undo the damages Millen left behind.

What experience is John bringing??? The team seems to be in desperation mode with all the players they let go and the coaching merry go round lately.

Millen reminds me of my boss.
Clueless and without blame yet still able to collect a paycheck because his boss is clueless and without blame too.
Maybe Al Davis can bring him back to the Raiders.

On the other hand, he did say it is a lot less about actual football and more about managing. Elway has run successful businesses, besides his involvement with the Arena League. Also, who knows what private, unpaid consulting he has done for the Broncos since leaving.

Let’s get through his first draft before we declare Elway a failur shall we?
